TO BE COHESIVE, TEAMS MUST:

When team members are genuinely transparent and honest with one another, it forms a safe environment that creates and builds vulnerability-based trust.

With trust, team members are able to engage in unfiltered, constructive debate of ideas.

When team members are able to offer opinions and debate ideas, they feel heard and respected, and will be more likely to commit to decisions.

Once everyone is committed to a clear plan of action, they will be more willing to hold one another accountable.

The ultimate goal is the achievement of results, unlocked through implementing the model's principles of Trust, Conflict, Commitment, and Accountability.
